| why do u even need ps with fast-math? unless fast-math is used massively (and correctly), this will increase a very little performance |

Some programs are designed to take -ffast-math into account, in which case they may run faster than if they didn't. However, -ffast-math will break things that weren't designed with it in mind, like most of the toolchain.
